You Make It Look So Easy

When someone is so skilled at their craft they make what they do look
easy. They appear extraordinary to those of us standing on the sidelines and
seem to be bigger than life.

A close friend and mentor of mine used to tell me that one of the
hardest things to accomplish in this life is to continually show up day
after day to perform the mundane. The tough part is checking in daily to meet head on with
our ordinary jobs and wrestle with the ordinary repetition of life. He told me
that in this we will find our strength and our true character
would be revealed. I can now grasp what he was saying, though I was
unable to really understand it back then. So I will leave you with a thought
to ponder.

On this day as you perform what you consider to be ordinary like blogging, teaching or even parenting, to others you
will appear extraordinary. There is someone standing on the sidelines
of your life today, watching you make it look so easy. They are
watching you, while you're watching me and I'm busy watching someone else. Remember that someone sees you astrulyextraordinary. Take a moment to consider that. Extraordinary means very unusual or remarkable, that certainly qualifies as beyond the ordinary.

Perceptive observation David. Actually, I did lose my kids that day in the Daffodils after shrinking them. The real story is I shot that photo of myself for a newsletter with the main post entitled "Taking a Closer Look At Spring". The hard part was keeping my arm out of the frame.
Now the hard part is wanting to be in the frame at all. I hate myself in photos.
